Neither am I, I think.  Ok, after years, I'm sure my accent has
changed now, but not so much towards Western Palatinian (but a bit,
yes), but more to a more standard High German to make myself easier
understood.  But in short conversations, I think I do not adjust my
accent much.  Neither in German, nor in English or Dutch.

At least I think so.
